It is a slow sewing week here at RPQ. My daughter is in the middle of VCE exam preparation and it has been a stressful time for her me; exams started today. One down, four exams to go (spread over the next 2 1/2 weeks)!

I have finally made enough log cabin blocks! I have made a total of 36 blocks; each block consists of 9 scrap pieces of fabric, salvaged from my scrap bin, that have now been put to good use.

I hope you don't mind, but I used sashing to join the log cabin blocks and rows together? The addition of the solid white fabric just seemed to have the right calming and soothing effect on these rather busy log cabin blocks.

I would think that few people have as productive a sewing week as even your least productive weeks. Truly, your commitment and prolificacy are inspirational. Also, I love this quilt - very fresh and fun!

Sewing - I have not touched any fabric (except to move them out of the way) since October. I have been busy conducting hand quilting workshops and using my hand dyed threads for the workshop and making bookmarks&doilies for a craft market two weekend from now.

I love the effect the sashing gives to this quilt! I'm working on a log cabin quilt as well, but I haven't decides how I'm going to quilt it yet. Any suggestions? http://alliescraftroom.blogspot.com/2011/09/quilt.html
